“Through fiction, Donna Kean’s Clearview normalizes the nature and wonder of non-ordinary experiences, and the important, evolving role of a spiritual group or community to support them.”

Review by Robbin Miller
“Ms. Kean definitely has a “Clear View”—of human nature, history, and the spiritual world. As if that weren’t enough, she tells her tale with biting wit and dauntless humor. What an entertaining, enlightening, satisfying read!”

Review by Barbara Koenig
“Clearview addresses the reader’s longing for a deeper spiritual connection with the past and our buried dreams. As a true visionary, D.J. Kean’s book brings us closer to those answers we too have been seeking for lifetimes. We find ourselves coming full circle and examining our own beliefs, while we connect with the stimulating characters and situations in Clearview.”
Barbara Koenig, D.D.

Review by Paula Cizmar
“Mystical, insightful, and a delight for the senses. D.J. Kean’s Clearview takes the reader on a journey toward connection—with the earth, with other people, with hidden lives, with the past. As a wildfire rages around a remote mountain town, the characters must use their intuition along with their wits as they lead the reader on an adventure like no other. Evocatively written and humane, this is such a lovely exploration of the spirit.”
